...want me to sing it?” Darnielle asked the crowd. “If you had written a song called ‘Red Sox in Five,’ would you be singing it now?” Despite the fragility of the Cubs’ post-season hopes, Darnielle plunged into the simple song, a tale of impossibility and frustration. All this baseball mopery may not seem relevant, but it’s what made the Mountain Goats show so touching. For me, at least. I’m sure there were people in the crowd...
...surprisingly, one strategy Lustberg and other psychologists recommend is shifting your focus to other sports. College and pro football are in full swing, and basketball will soon be tipping off. Don't spend too much time watching the baseball playoffs, especially the Phillies, whose presence in the post-season will make fans even more bitter.

If that's the case, then it's up to Stern to ease his "no-whining" edict and tell the officials to let the players play, especially for the playoffs. Post-season...

Thanks to the Valentine’s Day snow storm, last night’s women’s squash match against Yale lacked the electricity usually provided by the post-season implications of the annual late season meeting between the two rivals. That’s because the match, which was originally slated to be played last Wednesday, had to be postponed a week—meaning it took place after, and not before, the Crimson’s national championship match against Princeton at the Howe Cup last weekend...
